Ectochrom / illuminated letterforms / AI renderings / apocryphalia / 2025


Using the controlnet module of stable diffusion in A111, the organic fleshy spirit textures from Ectochrom photos can be transfered onto letterforms. Featureless base shapes of the letterforms are injected with the DNA of Ectochrom specimens (using a combination of a custom prompt recipe, the usual Ectochrom LoRa’s and a reference image from the Ectochrom catalog).
The result is a new type of ornamental text, much like the art of medieval illuminated capitals.
